The Most Lord

Chapter 105

In the center of the square, stood a three-meter-high gold list. The gold list was covered by a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what was written on it, but obviously, the names of the candidates who passed the re-examination were written on it!

In the square, people were discussing and guessing which candidates would pass the re-examination.

Under the gold list, stood a few soldiers. These soldiers kept watching the time, waiting for the time to unveil the list.

Unveil the list!

After a while, the soldier captain saw that the time had come, and shouted loudly.

The soldiers received the order and forcefully lifted off the red cloth covering the gold list.

The golden light was dazzling, and eleven big red names hung high on the gold list, and the name on the top was none other than Arthur.

There was a moment of calm in the square, and everyone was staring at the eleven names on the gold list, looking down one by one.

With me! With my name!

A young man in shabby clothes who could tell he was a commoner or even a poor man saw his name on the gold list, and shouted excitedly, unable to control himself.

After yelling a few words, the young man sat down on the ground, held his head in his hands, and began to cry bitterly.

Woooo..., there is my name, it really has my name, I succeeded.

Father, mother, have you seen it? It's not useless for me to study, it's really not useless.

This world is not like the earth, and all parents want their children to study hard. In this world, for ordinary children to study, in the eyes of their parents, it is a sign of not doing their jobs properly.

No matter how good your reading is, what's the use of being talented? Power is always in the hands of the nobles, and will not be given to the common people just because they are talented.

Beside him, several candidates who had a good relationship with him squatted down and comforted him non-stop.

The candidates who passed the exam were either excited or crazy, all venting their joy in their hearts. The candidates who did not pass the exam looked lonely, looking at those candidates who passed the exam, full of envy.

The surrounding residents also looked at these candidates with envious eyes, and successfully passed the re-examination. These eleven candidates can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

The lord has long said that these candidates who pass the re-examination will be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and let them govern the land of a town. In the current Huaxia territory, a town mayor can already be said to be a prince of one party. Of course, he is a prince without military power.

Allen has made it clear that the mayor elected by the imperial examination is only responsible for administration, and the military power is still in the hands of the army generals, and the military power and government are completely separated.

Regardless of the shabby clothes and ugly appearance of these candidates, if you see them in the future, you will call them adults.

From an ordinary commoner to the head of a town, how many times in a lifetime can such encounters happen?

Arthur stood quietly on the spot with a smile on his face. Compared with the other ten candidates who passed the exam, he was much calmer. Beside him, the three companions who took the exam with him congratulated him endlessly.

Candidates who have passed the re-examination, please stand up and follow us to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the City Lord.

A soldier came up to the crowd and shouted loudly.

Eleven candidates, including Arthur, walked out of the crowd, followed behind the soldiers, and walked towards the Lord's Mansion.

In the lord's mansion, Allen was sitting high on the main seat of the meeting hall, bowing his head in thought.

My lord, the candidates have arrived and are waiting outside.

A guard walked into the chamber and reported to Allen.

Allen nodded: Bring them in.

After a while, eleven candidates walked into the chamber one by one and stood in front of Allen in a row.

See Lord Lord!

Eleven candidates saluted Alan in unison, then looked up at Alan, feeling a little nervous.

Most of these candidates are from civilian backgrounds, even if they are talented, they are still civilians psychologically. Alan is definitely a high position in their minds. At this time, they will naturally feel nervous when they are face to face with Alan.

Allen smiled lightly: Sit down.

There were more than a dozen chairs placed on both sides of the conference hall. After hearing Alan's words, the candidates found their seats to sit down.

You are the eleven most outstanding candidates I have selected from more than a thousand candidates in this imperial examination. I have high hopes for you.

After Allen waited for everyone to sit down, he spoke.

Perhaps you have heard before that the position I am going to give you is the mayor of the other ten towns in the territory except Huaxia Town. This position is related to the livelihood of the entire town and several surrounding villages. It is extremely important.

In your answer sheets, I have already roughly understood your philosophy of governing the territory. However, the space of the test paper is limited, and there is not much content that can be expressed. Now, I want to hear each of you explain your own ideas individually.

Wodehouse, you come first.

Allen said.

Wodehouse, one of the eleven candidates, was a young man in his early twenties.

Among the candidates who passed the re-examination this time, the oldest one was only in his thirties. It can be said that Huaxia's future management is extremely young.

Wodehouse stood up, slightly nervous, and opened his mouth, not knowing where to start.

In fact, under Allen's gaze, Wodehouse now only feels his heart beating non-stop, and his mind is blank.

Don't be nervous, Allen smiled gently at Wodehouse and encouraged, Just talk about what's in your heart.

Allen's encouragement seemed to be working well, and Wodehouse's mind finally stabilized.

My lord, my governance philosophy is...

Wodehouse began to express his thoughts.

Wodehouse's governance philosophy is relatively moderate and similar to Allen's. Allen kept nodding while listening.

After the ten people had finished explaining their governance concepts, it was almost noon. What made people feel strange was that Allen didn't let Arthur explain his ideas.

This made the other ten people look at Arthur with weird eyes. They heard that the lord admired this young man named Arthur very much.

Arthur sat on the chair, neither happy nor sad, with thoughtful eyes.

Let's go to dinner first. I'll treat you at noon today. Alan saw that it was time to eat, and smiled, After dinner, I will assign you official positions.

During this meal, the twelve people had a great time with the guests and the host. During the meal, Allen did not talk about the management of the territory.

After lunch, the twelve people returned to the meeting room again, and Allen picked up a piece of paper from the table.

Next, let me announce the town where you take office.

Wodehouse, Constance.

...

Allen read out the towns where the ten people took office, which made the ten people excited. Before, they only knew that they might become the mayor, but now that Allen officially announced, it has been completely confirmed.

In the future, my identity will undergo earth-shaking changes!

Before you go to the various towns to take up your duties, let me introduce a few people to you.

After Allen finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and ten Noxus spies entered the chamber from the outside. But at this moment, the costumes of Noxus agents have changed, and they are all wearing normal samurai uniforms.

This is the bodyguard I prepared for you. They are all fifth-level fighters. They will be responsible for following you and protecting your safety from now on.

Allen said to everyone.

These ten Noxus agents were all purchased by Allen just this morning, spending most of Allen's funds.

It is said to be protection, but it also means surveillance, but Allen has explained to these Noxus spies that unless the object of their protection betrays the territory, they cannot intervene in any internal affairs and are only responsible for protection.
